The Dodgers’ closer was texting with Dee Gordon, his roommate in the minor leagues, his teammate in the majors, and his nemesis this week when the Miami Marlins swept a four-game series at Dodger Stadium.

Like many in the Dodgers’ clubhouse, Jansen was stunned by a bombshell that dropped minutes after the Marlins’ 5-3 win on Thursday night: Gordon had accepted an 80-game penalty after testing positive for two banned performance-enhancing drugs.

“I’ve known Dee,” Jansen said. “He’s always played the game the right way, the hard way. I told him to keep his head up.”

Maybe Jansen had it easier than some of his teammates. Not only has he known Gordon personally for years, humanizing the name of the drugs and the number of games, he didn’t have to pitch in the series. Jansen could watch from the bullpen as Gordon collected four hits, scored three runs, and drove in another — the game-tying run Thursday — during the Marlins’ sweep.

Some Dodgers, even those who played with Gordon, were not willing to comment on the record about Gordon’s suspension Friday. That made it impossible to say exactly how the suspension was received — particularly given the timing, with the wound of a home sweep still fresh.

Manager Dave Roberts said he wasn’t angered by the news.

“Some players (were angry), yes, and some players were upset … but I didn’t poll the clubhouse,” Roberts said. “I was just disappointed for Dee, and for baseball, and I was upset that I lost four straight games.”

Roberts and several team executives were present when the the clubhouse doors closed for a team meeting Friday. But the Gordon suspension was not addressed; the focus of the meeting was positive, intended to reverse a four-game losing streak.

The Dodgers had no legal recourse to challenge the outcome of the sweep within the rules of the Joint Drug Agreement, though they did explore their options.

Gordon issued a statement Friday morning saying that he didn’t intentionally take the banned substances, testosterone and clostebol.

“Though I did not do so knowingly, I have been informed that test results showed I ingested something that contained prohibited substances,” the statement read. “The hardest part about this is feeling that I have let down my teammates, the organization, and the fans. I have been careful to avoid products that could contain something banned by MLB and the 20+ tests that I have taken and passed throughout my career prove this. I made a mistake and accept the consequences.”

Jansen said he wasn’t consumed with judgment during his sleepless night. In his opinion, a failed drug test wouldn’t take away from Gordon’s ascent from minor league prospect to National League batting champion.

“I don’t know what happened,” Jansen said. “He always supported me when I was down. So I will support him when he’s down.”

Injury updates

Andre Ethier received a follow-up CT scan on his fractured right fibia in Los Angeles.

Depending on the result, the outfielder hopes to be cleared to begin non-weight-bearing exercise on an Alter-G machine in the coming days. He can place some weight on his leg already while walking on crutches. Ethier was given a 10-to-14 week timetable for recovery when he suffered the fracture on March 18.

Mike Bolsinger (oblique/abdominal strain) is scheduled to pitch an extended spring training game in the coming days. So will utilityman Alex Guerrero (knee).
